{"product_id":"then-and-now-jo-ellen-oliver-9798896721802","title":"Then And Now: A Series Of Biographical Essays Portraying Changes In Culture Over Near-ly A Century","description":"Sexual mores have changed drastically in my 88 years of life, as well as attitudes about family life, race and religion. I hope to explore changes in attitudes over my life span. This is not a research paper. I taught freshman English in two universities, where the students were required to document carefully. I don't want to do that anymore. I may get a date or a name wrong. Some names I changed on purpose, to avoid embarrassing the children or grandchildren of people who behaved badly. Instead of factual research, I want to explore emotions and attitudes as they changed over the years. Why are emotions so important? We have just held a very divisive election. We are divided by politics and social mores. Yes, it is better if our emotions are grounded in actual facts; our recent election proved how dangerous feelings are when fed by lies, so I have tried to be as factual as my memory allows, but in the end, our behavior is shaped by how we feel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jo Ellen Oliver\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798896721802\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Prominent Books Edge LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/10\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 102\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.28d","brand":"Jo Ellen Oliver","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47304738144511,"sku":"9798896721802","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8927f164-5b8f-446d-9272-42405873ce5b.jpg?v=1758829017","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/then-and-now-jo-ellen-oliver-9798896721802","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
